Description
Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs, the seventeenth novel in the Temperance Brennan series, places forensic anthropologist Dr Tempe Brennan in a high-stakes confrontation with a remorseless adversary from her past. When unexpectedly called to Charlotte PD’s Cold Case Unit, Tempe is confronted with a chilling revelation: two child murders, thousands of miles apart, share the same perpetrator. Anique Pomerleau, a cunning and elusive killer who once terrorised Canada, has resurfaced in the United States, targeting victims in Vermont and North Carolina. With the shadow of past failures looming, Tempe must stop the psychopath before the reign of terror escalates.
To succeed, she must navigate a maze of professional and personal challenges: drawing her estranged ex-partner out of hiding, preventing jurisdictional conflicts between local police and federal agents, and confronting her own inner demons. As the investigation unfolds, Brennan races against time, piecing together forensic evidence while anticipating the killer’s next move. With psychological tension, intricate plotting, and meticulous forensic detail, Reichs delivers a thriller that is both heart-pounding and intellectually engaging.
Bones Never Lie showcases Tempe Brennan at the peak of her expertise, proving that when the stakes are life and death, every clue matters—and every bone tells a story.
